Check in was good. The restaurant is ok. The shower door didn’t / does not seal and water leaks on to the floor and carpet in the sleeping area. The carpet is stained and curtains are stained . Sound proofing is very good. The location of the hotel is convenient to Paddington station and restaurants & shops.

Nice stay but a few misses

Room was clean but outdated: no plugs near bed and the aircon was ancient. It was warm in the room when we came in and it took ages for it to cool when you turn the air con on. Bed was comfortable. Very strange toilet was separate from the bath/shower. Breakfast was nice, but no porridge on offer. Pool was small but perfect for the little one, although you had to turn on the sauna yourself and wait for it to heat up.

Beautiful Lobby, But Rooms Need Serious TLC

Check-in was unusual – I was asked to sit at a table rather than a reception desk. The staff were lovely but the process felt clinical. I didn’t book an accessible room, but that was all that was available; I was given a drinks voucher for the inconvenience but not sure whether it was to do more, so with the fact that I said I was there to attend a big content creator event. No info was provided about the pool, restaurant, or luggage storage unless I asked. But at least they tried to grab some more money by offering me breakfast. Room 408 was disappointing. I have never felt dirty walking into a hotel room until I stayed here. Yellow ripped wallpaper, dusty curtains/netting, a CREEPY picture above the bed, a rusty bathroom, a kettle straight from 2004, a huge non-smart TV with a sticky remote to go with it ofc added to the grimy feel. The bed was mid, no sockets near it, and despite being accessible, the space felt cramped in areas. Facilities were okay, but small. I chose not to use them, but at least the changing rooms looked cleaner. The saving grace is the location – pedestrianised, felt safe, near shops, bars, restaurants, cafes, the canal, and Paddington Station. Lobby and public spaces are beautiful, modern, and clean. The morning staff were lovely on the 25th of August. Overall, better suited for business travellers/families. Fine for a short stay if you’re out and about, but I wouldn’t stay here to relax. I wouldn’t pay over £120/night for the rooms.

The room was set up and the hotel was very nice and the the staff was very friendly. But there were a couple of things wrong with the room: The sink drain stopper did not lift up so the sink drained very slowly and there was toothpaste on the carpet.

Fantastic location

The hotel is really lovely. The rooms beds bathrooms are all very nicely set out. Very nice restaurant and bar if you want to stay in the hotel but there is an abundance of eateries all around the hotel. There’s a gym and swimming pool but we didn’t use them. Situated just next door to Paddington station so you can literally get to anywhere from there. Beautiful walk along the canal and there are eateries on the barges too. Can’t find a single fault.

Just OK

My biggest issue with this hotel is the lack of air conditioning. I don't understand how an 11 story building doesn't have air conditioning. There are windows but being so close to the Paddington station there are trains going in and out all night and there was construction in the area 24/7. And even with the window open, there just isn't any cross ventilation.
